" I think some of you had better start looking very hard at your genocide practices and what it's done to the image of the US throughout the world.

Helping to provide contraception and health care to women in third world countries is not a "genocidal practice."

Leaving them be is.

Every minute of every day, somewhere on Earth, a woman dies in pregnancy or childbirth -- more than 500,000 deaths a year. Of the motherless children left behind, an estimated 90 percent die before they turn 1 .

Health centers receiving U.S. family-planning assistance often supply the only basic health care of any kind for miles around. They offer information on and access to contraception; reproductive health care and education on nutrition and hygiene. These centers also provide health care for pregnant women, assistance when they deliver their babies and follow-up care for mother and child.

Providing a mother with access to contraception also helps her children. Studies show that children spaced at intervals of two years or more are healthier than siblings born in rapid succession. Contraceptives are as important to public health as vaccines or antibiotics.

By providing men and women the education and services they need for sexual health, these programs protect them from AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections and help ensure their babies are healthy. Last year, more than half the AIDS deaths in the world were women, and they left behind millions of orphans, many of them HIV-positive.

There is no "forced" abortions. There *is* a great deal of education and contraception assistance.

Or maybe you prefer to see more acres and acres of little children's distended bellies with flies and maggots hovering around the starving and dying. And more women die in childbirth because they could not have access to contraception.

Yeah. All those slutty third world women just sexing it up and should be punished now, huh?

You need to read up on the tactics used these past 8 years by the Clinton administration. You MIGHT not view these practices as genocide, but what really matter is millions of people in the world DO. Don't believe that every third world country having abortion FORCED on it wants it, don't believe that only American Pro-Life people might fight back. If anything, Muslims attacking planned parenthood to stop the genocide would be understandable. I would not fight a war they would have against abortionists. You abortionists are on your own on this one, you have much to answer for.

Do you honestly believe Clinton should have been using money and the power of the UN to force abortion clinics on people? The pre-Clinton administrations were able to discuss population control without forcing abortion. Denying billions of dollars of money is force. You can thank the Clintons for their thug practices for much of this mess we are now in.

"Every minute of every day, somewhere on Earth, a woman dies in pregnancy or childbirth -- more than 500,000 deaths a year. Of the motherless children left behind, an estimated 90 percent die before they turn 1 ."

Abortion is genocide. It's the biggest genocide in history. 500,000 deaths per year of pregnant women? I don't know if those figures are right but I know that there are 1 million abortions per year in the US alone. So the number of murdered babies is bigger than the number of women who died because of preganancy.

This is a false argument anyway. Even the countries with the strictest laws against abortion, like Ireland or the Islamic states, still allow abortion to save the mother's life. So we can have it both ways. We can save the babies and the mothers. The argument that if we don't allow abortion women will die is a false choice.

If I remember my statistics correctly only 7% of abortions in the US were motivated by concern for the mother's health, rape, defects or some other similar "hard case". So only a tiny portion of the abortions in the US are done to save the mother's life. And even these would still be legal if abortion were outlawed. So your argument is false.

There is just no justification for allowing abortion for any reason at any time. For this reson abortion is genocide plain and simple and those who do abortions are mass murderers.

People who send disease through the mail are not pro life, they are terrorists. The people that harbor them are just as guilty, that is the Bush doctrine. They will be found and punished by the state.

People that kill unborn babies by partially delivering them and pithing them are likewise terrorists and those that harbor them are likewise guilty. They will, hopefully, pay the piper in the next life.

By your reasoning we should kill these kids also in order to save them. Twisted.

The more I think of this in the context of recent US decisions concerning the UN and international family planning, women's health, etc., the more I wonder. . .It seems to me that we are currently on par with Islamic countries in that light these days, eh? It almost makes me paranoid given the current situation re anthrax and Planned Parenthood clinics. Think about it.
